What you need to do:

Be careful with items that can spark fires.

Dispose of smoking materials in an appropriate container and ensure they are completely extinguished. Do not discard these items into any open area as they may start a fire that will spread rapidly. Do not dispose of smoking materials out of your vehicle when traveling.

Business owners and property managers should have appropriate disposable containers in areas where smoking occurs outside.

Do not burn brush or trash ever without appropriate approval.

Do not use outside grills or cooking equipment during these times. If you must, ensure you have some type of extinguishing agent nearby (water hose, bucket of sand, fire extinguisher, etc.).
